Participants in the “FIT25: Becker’s Love Health and Fitness Challenge” donated $1,200 to the Luverne Hockey Association in memory of the late Craig Becker, a 1987 LHS graduate and hockey player. On Sunday several of Becker’s classmates and hockey teammates were part of a check presentation at the Blue Mound Ice Arena. Pictured are (from left) Steve Smedsrud, Brian Arends, Josh and Syndey Benda (Becker’s son-in-law and daughter), Julie Becker (holding her husband’s LHS hockey jersey), Fitness Challenge coordinator Tashia Klosterbuer, Jeff Wieneke, Mark Opitz and rink manager Dave Van Batavia.
